Here's the next chapter.
There's a lemon between Yugi and Yami in this chapter, so if you don't like lemons, skip the writing between the bold. I warned you!
Chapter 6- Together
Yugi and Yami had been together for about a week, but they had not told anyone about the fact that they were together. Both thought that it would be better that way since they weren't sure where this relationship would be going.
Yugi was walking through the gardens alone early in the morning. No one else was up yet, and Yugi needed the time to think.
'I don't know what I'm thinking. I mean, I know that I love Yami, but I also know that Yami isn't going to be here for long. I'm not sure if this is the best course of action for me.' Yugi thought.
When Yugi had those thoughts, he would think about how happy he was when he was with Yami, and he knew that Yami was happy with him. He could tell it.
'Why does this have to be so hard? Why did it have to be Yami that I fell for? I wouldn't trade the way I feel for him for anything, but I don't know if the pain in the end would be worth it.' Yugi thought.
Deep down, Yugi knew that he would regret not being with Yami if he didn't take the chance now.
Yugi let out a sigh. 'I can't help how I feel, and I am deeply in love with Yami. I can't help it. I want to be with him while I can, regardless of the fact that it won't last.' Yugi thought.
Yugi sat down on the bench and looked up into the sky. He wasn't sure how he would feel when things ended.
'No. I can't think about that now. I have to think about the goods things that can happen right now.' Yugi thought.
Yugi then smiled as he thought about how much fun he had had with Yami so far.
~Flashback~
Yugi and Yami were playing a game of chess like they did a lot.
"You are a tough opponent, Yugi, but I'm not going to let you win this one, Yugi." Yami said.
Yugi let out a laugh as he made a move. "You say that all of the time, Yami." Yugi said.
"Well, I'm going to follow through with my claim this time around, Yugi." Yami said as he also made his move.
The two had been playing the game for quite some time.
Yami glanced up at Yugi and watched as he contemplated his move. He smirked before he leaned across the table and kissed Yugi soundly on the lips.
Yugi's eyes widened in shock and he completely lost his train of thought. He made a move that he hadn't meant to make.
Yami's smirked then widened as he made his own move. "Checkmate." Yami said.
Yugi glared at him. "That was a low and dirty trick, Yami." Yugi said.
"Maybe, but I still won." Yami said.
Before Yugi would say anything else, Yami leaned across the table and kissed Yugi again.
Yugi gave up and just kissed Yami back.
~End Flashback~
'How I out up with him, I don't know, but I do love him deeply.' Yugi thought.
Yugi was lost in thought when hands suddenly covered his eyes. "Huh? Who's that?" Yugi asked.
The lips on his neck told him exactly who it was.
"Good morning to you, too, Yami." Yugi said.
Yami chuckled. "Not yet." Yami said. He then turned Yugi around to face him before he kissed Yugi on the lips. He broke the kiss and said, "Now it's good morning."
"You are so crazy, Yami." Yugi said.
"Glad that you think so." Yami said.
Yugi smiled at him. "What are you doing up so early?" Yugi asked.
"Well, I remember you saying that you had a busy day today, so I wanted to spend a little time alone together." Yami said.
Yugi smiled. "That's a good idea, Yami." Yugi said.
Yami then sat down beside Yugi. "What are you doing out here so early, anyway? I was surprised when I didn't find you in you room." Yami said.
"I just came out here to think. I do that a lot." Yugi replied as he looked out across the gardens.
There was a slight bit of dew that was on the different plants and flowers in the gardens, making the different plants seem to shimmer in the early morning sunlight.
"I can see why you come here in the morning so often. It's even more beautiful in the morning." Yami said as he looked at everything.
"I know." Yugi said.
Yami looked over at Yugi and saw that Yugi also looked rather stunning to him in the sunlight. "You know something, Yugi." Yami said.
Yugi turned to look at Yami. "What's that?" Yugi asked.
"I think that you're the most beautiful thing in this garden." Yami said.
Yugi smiled at him. "You're very sweet, Yami." Yugi said.
Yami smiled back at him. He then cupped Yugi's face in his hands and leaned forward, kissing Yugi. Yugi slid his arms around Yugi and kissed him as well. The kiss was gentle and tender, conveying how much they loved each other.
The two then broke the kiss.
"I love you, Yugi." Yami said as he ran a thumb over Yugi's cheek.
"I love you, too." Yugi replied.
The two just stayed in the garden, enjoying each other's presence until the last second.
Sighing, Yugi said, "I need to go. I have that first meeting before long."
"I guess I won't be seeing you for a while then." Yami said, not entirely happy about that thought.
"No, you won't. Sorry about that, Yami." Yugi said.
"It's not your fault, Yugi." Yami assured him.
Yugi leaned forward and kissed him chastely. "Maybe we can have a quiet dinner in my room this evening." Yugi said.
"Okay. Let me know if we can." Yami said.
Yugi nodded and then got up, heading back into the palace.
Yami sighed once Yugi was out of sight. 'I do love that man so much. I wish that I could spend more time with him, but I know that he has to take care of his kingdom.' Yami thought.
Yami stood up and headed back into the palace as well, heading to the library for a little while.
Yugi had had to go to a meeting with Dartz, Solomon, and several other high members of society to discuss the state of the kingdom's economy.
"We must find a way to raise our economy." a man said.
"Yes. We have spent too much time rebuilding everything for the peasants." another man scoffed.
Yugi looked up at him. "Would you prefer they live as they did under my father's rule?" Yugi asked.
"I only mean that too much time and money has gone to help those who don't deserve it." the man said.
Yugi then stood up. "My father taxed them to the point that four and five families were forced under one roof just to survive. People starved to death or would be tortured to death because they could pay the taxes. These people suffered the most under my father's tyranny. Are you saying that they should continue to suffer?" Yugi asked.
The man wasn't unnerved by Yugi. "I think things were just fine the way they were." the man said snobbishly.
Dartz slammed his hand on his the table loudly. "How dare you! Perhaps those that were rich and had power were unaffected by it because they had wealth and could handle what was thrown at them, but those that live simple lives do not have the fortune!" Dartz growled.
The man glared. "Then they should have had more money!" the man spat.
"How could they do that?" Yugi asked, sitting back with his arms crossed over his chest.
The man was taken off guard. "What?" the man asked.
"How could they get more money when my father's taxes were taking everything? Homes, business, he even took women and children as slaves to torture and use for his own reasons. Do you think that would be beneficial?" Yugi asked.
The man, now realizing he had pissed off the wrong man, said, "I only meant that we need to put more time into other means."
Yugi stood up, glaring at the man so fiercely that the man flinched and took a step back. "Do not tell me what we need to do. I spent three years as the head of the rebellion. I lived as the common people lived. I suffered as they suffered. I fought to gain freedom from someone like my father, but you want me to be like my father by not caring about my people! Without the people, there is nothing to rule!" Yugi growled.
"Emperor, I-" the man started.
"Enough! You were one of the ones that lived in luxury while those people lived in poverty and hunger! You know nothing of the people and their plight! You know nothing of their pain! I won't tolerate this kind of behavior or lack of respect for those that fought to give us the freedom that we now have!" Yugi said.
"Emperor, I didn't mean any disrespect!" the man protested, realizing what he had done.
"I no longer care. Get out of my palace. You no longer carry the title of noble. I will make sure everyone knows that it is your support of my father that you have lost your title and wealth." Yugi growled.
"You can't do that!" the man shouted.
Another man at the table rose. "Yes, he can! That tyrant made our kingdom something we all hated. Only you were happy with it of those that sit at this table! The people suffered enough. You stayed in the luxury of the palace or the luxury of your home. We all saw the devastation. We feared him, so we did not oppose him, but we did not support him, either." the man said.
"Timaeous! Critias! Hermos!" Yugi called.
The three Knights appeared.
"Take this man out of this palace. He is not allowed back in here nor is he allowed in his home. He no longer as the rank of noble for his support of my father." Yugi said.
The Knights grabbed the struggling man and forced him to leave.
"How long will he live?" a different man asked.
"Once the people find out he wanted things to stay as they were under the last emperor's rule, he'll be killed." another said.
Yugi sat back down. "I will not tolerate such behavior or cruel speak toward anyone of the kingdom or any other kingdom. Let this be a warning to you all." Yugi said.
The men nodded their understanding.
"Now, we should start discussing ways to boost the economy of the kingdom without harming anyone." Solomon said.
Everyone started to discuss ways that they could help the kingdom.
None of the ideas, however, included the mistreatment of any of the people in the kingdom, most importantly the common people.
Yami was sitting in his room, reading a book.
After going to the library, Yami had found a book that he had not read, so he took it back to his room to read since he knew that he would not be seeing Yugi for a while.
The door opened, and Yami looked up to see Firestar in the room.
"What are you doing here, Firestar?" Yami asked.
"Bored." Firestar answered as he jumped onto the bed with Yami.
"I thought that you might would go to the meetings that Yugi was having." Yami said as he put his book down.
"Nah. Those meetings are too boring for my taste. I'll go on occasion, but I don't really like to go." Firestar answered.
"I heard a rumor that Yugi got pissed as someone." Yami said.
"Yeah. Turns out that we didn't quite get everyone that supported his father. This guy just wanted to leave things as they were under Kenshin's rule as far as he was concerned. Master got pissed and told the guy off. He didn't know what it was truly like under Kenshin's rule. He's been tripped of his title, and he's losing all of his wealth. I can almost guarantee he'll die, too." Firestar said.
"Why would Yugi kill him?" Yami asked, surprised.
"Not Master. It'll be the people of the kingdom that kill him for wanting things as they were under the former emperor's rule. They'll be angry about that." Firestar said.
"I guess it doesn't matter." Yami said.
"Nope. I just hope that they don't spend all day in those meetings." Firestar said.
"So do I." Yami said, not wanting to have to be apart from Yugi all of the time.
After a long and tiring day, Yugi headed for his room.
'I am exhausted.' Yugi thought.
Yugi had spent the entire day going over different ideas on how to boost their economy.
Of course, trade with the other kingdoms of the world would be at the top of the list, and that was probably going to be the best way to start at least.
Yugi walked into his room.
The table had enough food for two people on it with candles in the center of the room, lit. The balcony doors were open, and the moonlight filtered into the room, giving the room a soft glow. A light breeze blew the curtains at the balcony.
Yami stood on the balcony. When he heard Yugi enter the room, he turned and smiled at Yugi. "Hi, Yugi." Yami said.
"Hi, Yami. I see you remembered my dinner invitation." Yugi said.
"I wouldn't forget something like that, Yugi. Besides, I thought that it would be the perfect time for us to have a romantic dinner together." Yami said as he walked into the room over to Yugi.
Yugi smiled at him. "Yami, I think that that's a great idea." Yugi said.
Yami smiled back. He then kissed Yugi lightly. "Come on. Let's eat before it gets cold." Yami said.
Yugi nodded, and the two sat down to eat.
"What did you do today, anyway?" Yugi asked as they ate the dinner that had been prepared.
"Oh, the usual. I did a little reading, I talked to Firestar. I also chased a few girls." Yami said.
Yugi started laughing. "Yeah. I really believe that you went chasing girls." Yugi said.
"I was bored, so I decided to chase them." Yami said, sounding serious.
"Okay. I believe that." Yugi said, acting as serious as Yami had sounded.
After a moment, the two started laughing.
"Seriously. I just did some reading and had Firestar around." Yami said.
"Sounds like fun." Yugi said.
"Oh, yeah. I have to have a 400-pound tiger for company." Yami said.
"500-pound." Yugi corrected.
"Okay. 500-pound tiger." Yami said.
"Sorry. I'm hoping that my schedule won't be as hectic once we are able to get the economy on track." Yugi said.
"Well, I understand." Yami said.
After the two finished eating, Yugi called a servant and gave her the dishes before he went back into the room with Yami.
"This was a great thing that you did tonight, Yami. Thank you." Yugi said.
"No problem." Yami said. He leaned forward and kissed Yugi. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck while Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's.
Yami ran his tongue over Yugi's bottom lip, and Yugi opened his mouth, letting Yami into his mouth. Yami roamed around every inch of the cavern that he had come to know so well. Yugi moaned as Yami traced Yugi's mouth thoroughly.
Soon, the two were forced to break apart for air.
The two starred into each other's eyes and could see their own emotions reflected in the other's eyes. Love, devotion, and a hint of lust.
"Yugi, do you think that this is such a good idea?" Yami asked.
"I don't know, but right now, I couldn't care less." Yugi replied.
LEMON STARTS HERE!
Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi again before he started to trail kissed down his face to his neck. Yugi let his eyes close as Yami trailed kisses down Yugi's neck.
Yami then took Yugi's cape off and threw it to the floor. He then started to walk forward, forcing Yugi to walk backwards. When Yugi's legs hit the back of the bed, Yami pushed Yugi backwards onto the bed.
"Yami!" Yugi exclaimed.
Yami smirked down at Yugi as he climbed onto the bed with Yugi. "What?" Yami asked.
Yugi grabbed Yami by the shirt and pulled him down. Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi.
While Yami had Yugi distracted with the kiss, he let his hands trial down Yugi's chest as he started to unbutton the shirt. Once Yugi's shirt was completely unbuttoned, Yami got the shirt off of Yugi and threw it to the floor.
Yami then took a moment to admire Yugi's chest. He thought that Yugi's pale skin in the moonlit room was exquisite. "You're beautiful." Yami said.
Yugi blushed at that. "No, I'm not." Yugi said.
"To me, you are the most beautiful person in the world, Yugi." Yami said. He then leaned down and kissed Yugi before he trailed kisses down Yugi's neck. Once Yami reached Yugi's collarbone, he bit down lightly.
Yugi yelped slightly in shock at the sudden bite.
Yami then licked the bite mark as if he was saying sorry.
Yami then continued on down Yugi's body, kissing, licking, and nipping at the sweet flesh as he went. When Yami reached one of Yugi's semi-erect nipples, Yami circled the nub with his tongue before he took the nub into his mouth and started to suck on it.
Yugi cried out at that as he arched his back.
Yami continued to suck on the nub until it was hard before he turned his attention to the other nub, giving it the same treatment.
Once he was done that, Yami kissed on down Yami's body until he reached Yugi's naval, where he dipped his tongue in several time.
Yugi arched and moaned under Yami's ministrations.
Since he could go no further, Yami reached down and undid Yugi pants before he pulled them and Yugi's boxers as well as his shoes off and into the floor.
Yugi was now lying naked underneath Yami.
Yami gazed down at Yugi nude body and smirked when he saw that Yugi was already erect. He reached out and ran a finger over the underside of Yugi's member, causing Yugi to hiss at the action. "Is this because he me, Yugi?" Yami asked teasingly.
Yugi growled and wrapped his legs around Yami before he pulled him down. "What do you think?" Yugi hissed.
Yami smirked. "I think that I am doing a very good job." Yami said.
Yugi glared at his lover while Yami continued to smirk.
Yami then raised back up, unwrapping Yugi's legs from around his waist. "I don't think that I'm done teasing you yet." Yami said.
"I think you have." Yugi said.
"Well, I don't." Yami retorted. He placed his hands on Yugi's hips before taking Yugi's member completely into his mouth.
Yugi screamed at that as he threaded his hands in Yami's hair. "Ah! Yami!" Yugi moaned.
Yami started to bob his head up and down on Yugi's member, causing Yugi to thrash.
Yugi tried to buck up into the mouth on him, but Yami's hold on his hips prevented that.
Yami started to suck on Yugi, but he kept the sucks weak.
"Ah! Yami! Please!" Yugi begged.
Yami chuckled, unwittingly sending vibrations down Yugi's member.
Yugi groaned at that, wishing that Yami would do something more.
Yami let go of Yugi's member and said, "I don't want to end this too soon."
Yugi glared at him. "You had better do something fast before I have to finish what you started." Yugi growled.
"Not a chance." Yami said. With that, Yami took off all of his clothes and threw them into the floor with Yugi's.
Yugi gazed at Yami's body. "And you said that I was beautiful." Yugi said.
"You are." Yami answered.
Before Yugi could protest, Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi lightly.
"Yugi, you don't happen to have any kind of lube, do you?" Yami asked.
"Uh, bedside table." Yugi said.
Yami reached over and opened the drawer, easily finding what he was looking for. He raised an eyebrow. "Did you plan this?" Yami asked, looking at his lover.
"No, I didn't plan this. I just had it in case." Yugi answered. He then added, "A good thing, too."
"It certainly is." Yami agreed.
Yami opened the bottle and spread some of the lube onto three of his fingers.
Knowing what was coming, Yugi spread his legs for Yami.
Yami settled between them and used one finger to circle Yugi's entrance, loosening the muscles before he slipped one in.
Yugi gasped slightly when he felt the finger inside of him.
"Are you okay, Yugi?" Yami asked, slightly worried.
"Yeah. It just feels a little odd." Yugi answered.
Glad that Yugi wasn't in pain, Yami started to move the finger around before he slipped in the second finger.
Yugi winced slightly at this managed to keep his body relaxed.
Yami started to move the two fingers in a scissor like motion, stretching Yugi further. He then added in the third finger, brushing Yugi's prostate.
"YAMI!" Yugi cried.
Yami smirked and thrust his fingers up into that spot several times as he stretched Yugi, getting Yugi to cry out each time.
Satisfied that Yugi was ready, Yami removed his fingers from Yugi and took the bottle again, pouring some into his hand before he coated his member in it. Once he was thoroughly lathered, Yami threw the bottle aside before he positioned himself at Yugi's entrance.
Yugi knew what was coming, so he wrapped his legs around Yami's waist and his arms around Yami's neck.
"Ready?" Yami asked.
"Hurry up!" Yugi growled.
Heeding his words, Yami thrust all the way into Yugi with one fluid motion.
Yugi arched up, tightening his legs around Yami's waist. A pain laced up his spine as he tried to adjust to Yami being inside of him.
Yami felt like he was drowning. Being inside something so warm and hot was amazing, but he remained still so that Yugi could adjust.
As the pain started to ebb away, Yugi started to move his hips experimentally.
Yami gasped when Yugi did that.
Realizing that Yami liked that, Yugi did it again.
Knowing that Yugi was ready, Yami pulled out until only the tip of his member was left inside of Yugi before he thrust back in.
Yami set a slow, gentle pace, not wanting to hurt Yugi since this was Yugi's first time.
Yugi had other ideas. "Yami, please! Go faster! Harder!" Yugi begged.
Growling at the lust-drenched tone, Yami did as he was asked and started to thrust harder and faster into Yugi.
Yugi cried out as Yami struck his prostate hard. "Ah! Yes! That's it!" Yugi cried/
"Yogi! So tight! So hot1" Yami groaned.
Yami's pace turned rough and frantic as he thrust in and out of Yugi at a fast pace.
Yugi's legs tightened even more around Yami's waist as his nails dug into Yami's shoulders.
Yami had never felt so complete in his life. He knew that being with Yugi was the best thing in the world. He loved how hot and tight Yugi was. He also loved Yugi with all his heart.
Yugi also felt so complete being with Yami. He loved how Yami felt inside of him. He also new that he loved Yami more than anything, and he wouldn't trade Yami for anything.
Yami could feel his end approaching and before he could so anything, he released heavily into Yugi. "YUGI!" Yami groaned as he came.
Yugi gasped as Yami filled him with his seed.
Yami then collapsed on top of Yugi as he tried to catch his breath. Once he did, he raised up.
Yugi was whimpering as he was still extremely hard, having not had the chance to release as well.
Yami smirked, knowing exactly how he would help Yugi.
Yami pulled out of Yugi before he placed his hands on Yugi's hips and leaned down, licking the tip of Yugi's member and tasting the pre-cum that had accumulated there.
Yugi cried out at that. "Yami, please!" Yugi pleaded as he threaded his hands in Yami's hair.
Deciding to have mercy on his lover, Yami leaned down and took Yugi all the way in his mouth, starting to suck.
Yugi cried out again as Yami sucked on him, tightening his hands in Yami's hair.
Yami kept on sucking on Yugi.
Yugi soon reached his end. "YAMI!" Yugi cried as he released into Yami's mouth.
Yami swallowed every drop that Yugi released before he let go of Yugi's member.
Yugi panted as he recovered from his orgasm.
LEMON ENDS HERE!
Yami then kissed Yugi, causing Yugi to taste himself on Yami's lips.
"I don't know about you, but I thought that that was wonderful." Yami said.
Yugi smiled. "I couldn't agree more." Yugi said.
Yami then lay down beside Yugi and pulled him into his arms.
Yugi curled up against Yami and rested his head on Yami's chest, yawning.
"I think that we should get some sleep, Yugi." Yami said.
"Hmm. I agree." Yugi said, already dozing off.
Yami chuckled at that, "Good night, Yugi." Yami said.
"Night, Yami. Love you." Yugi replied.
"I love you, too." Yami said, kissing the top of Yugi's head.
The two soon fell asleep.
Firestar pushed open the door to Yugi's room and walked in.
'I didn't get the chance to see Master today. Yami sees him more than me.' Firestar thought.
Firestar noticed the clothes that were strewn everywhere. 'Hmm. Master's not usually messy. He doesn't throw his clothes in the floor.' Firestar thought.
Firestar then looked at the bed and was shocked. He saw Yugi and Yami sleeping together.
Firestar then smirked. 'So, Master and Yami are much closer than I thought.' Firestar thought. He then jumped on the bed and lay down at the foot of the bed. 'Well, if they're happy, then I'm happy.' Firestar thought as he lay his head down and also drifted off to sleep.
Hope you liked it.
Next: A bit more between Yugi and Yami.
R&R.
